Crane with its operator falls into riverbed while bridge demolition in Gujarat over a month after Morbi mishap

An excavator machine (crane) with its operator fell into the riverbed when a portion of a bridge on the Banas river gave in during demolition in Gujarat's Banaskantha district on Friday, an official said. Luckily, the man did not suffer any injuries as the excavator stayed upright after falling 30 feet. The bridge near Umbri village in Kankrej taluka is nearly 70 years old and it was not in use for the last four years, said Kalpesh Patel.
